  • I wish it were all over

    Wednesday, March 5, 2008 | A Sad story

    I am not suicidal.  I will never try that again.  I do wish though that someone would end my miserable existance.  I am a worthless individual.  There aren't any humans except my daughters who really want me in their lives.  They are the only reasons I don't consider suicide.  Well that's not exactly true.  If I didn't have my daughters I would r...

  • I am pretty sure that my days are limited!

    Friday, September 12, 2008 | A Sad story

    I don't know what my future holds or even if I have much time to live but I still want to make the most out of my life.  I had so much pain last night I had to wake my Mom and have her rub cream on my skin besides taking the Tylenol Arthritis and after all this the pain sort of got better and then I could sleep.  I am so very sick and I don't know what to do about it.  If I...

    Wednesday, January 7, 2009 | A Sad story

    I have an update on Ashlee and her appointment today with many doctors at Childrens Hospital. As of now she goes into the hospital next week to get that port put back in. Wasn't long ago she was so happy to get it out and thought the end of the cancer and it was closing. To put it back in is crushing. Anyway, she will start a 5 day chemo every 4 weeks. She will get it at the clinic, but in th...

    Friday, October 9, 2009 | A Sad story

    Thank you all so much for all your prayers for Ashlee. I wanted to let you know the doctors have done all they can. She is on Morphine 24 hours and oxygen. At this point they are making her comfortable. She sleeps most of the time. The doctors give her aprox 3 months. But God only knows when he will take her. Love to all, Mary
